- Abstract
This letter to the editor addresses a comparative study on minimally invasive fusion surgery for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and severe lumbar spinal stenosis. The authors of the letter express appreciation for the work done by the original authors but raise some concerns about the study. They suggest that selection bias may have influenced the results due to inherent differences between the two groups. They also point out errors in the data presented and question the methodology used to assess clinical outcomes. The authors of the letter hope that their queries will improve the quality of the study for the benefit of readers.
